17:54 The airfield in the lower left corner is Naval Air Station North Island, a station I spent some time on. Its home to most of the navy's west coast helicopter squadrons, and home port to 3 or 4 aircraft carriers. You can see two on them docked towards the top of the screen at 18:06. Also, at 18:05, the beach area just above the inboard leading edge of the wing is SEAL Beach. If you've ever seen programs about SEAL selection training, where they are crawling through the sand, or carrying logs on their shoulders, swimming in the surf, and launching boats into the water, thats where it takes place.
When we used to go to the beach at Coronado, I enjoyed watching the S-3 Viking aircraft landing at North Island. I was a kid in SD. I knew all of the naval aircraft and the carriers home ported there at the time. _Ranger_ and _Kitty Hawk_ for sure, and at least one other. I saw _Enterprise_ there once or twice also. I don't think _Enterprise_ was home ported there. Great memories. There could not have possibly been a better place to be a kid. I wished I'd realized how fortunate I was to live there. It is not the same place it was in 1968. You can't go back, much as I wish I could.
At 2:05:33 as we're pulling into the gate, another Boeing 737-924, N37466, is parked at the next gate over to the left. Behind the wing, a larger escape hatch is visible, but notably without the 'gray' painted outline that surround the cabin doors and over-wing escape hatches. In the main cabin, these two larger hatches(one on each side) are not visible within the aircraft; only from outside. Essentially, they don't exist for passenger egress and in this case, aren't required. This is because some airlines configure the aircraft with fewer seats and by regulation, the additional hatches are not required. Other airlines order their aircraft from Boeing with more seats, thus the extra two escape hatches would need to be fully-functional and accessible to passengers within the aircraft. In a/c 466, Boeing put in these hatches as plugs instead of omitting them, because the airline could conceivably add seats, which would then require these hatches be modified, so that they would be useable by passengers. The number of exits is determined by the number of passengers to be carried. The Boeing 727-100 series (short-body) had two main cabin doors, four over-wing hatches, and the 'airstair' door at the tailcone; the Boeing 727-200 (stretched-body) had all those exits, plus two additional hatches located back by the fuselage-mounted engines, to meet regulations because of a higher seating capacity on that model of 727.
@9:00 those yellowish bldgs belong to MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot). The United States Recruit Depot for making of Marines. You can see the obstacle course n the foreground. Been there done that in 89. Cool vid. I live, work in Mile High.🥰
Over Saguache Colorado. Rio Grande Natl Forest. Mt Ebert 4th tallest in Colorado. My dads ranch is there. Hwy 285 to Hwy 114 west on County road EE. 154,000 Head of cattle. On 695,000 acres of land between Middle Creek Trailhead in Saguache, and South of Bonanza, West of Salida. Yet I went to the USAFA and flew B1's like an Idiot. Then to a 757 for USAirways. Now retired in Monaco and London I do miss the high country and LODO.
Fantastic view of the airport and wider San Diego area, on what appeared to be the BORDER 7 SID with 270 degree left turn out and around to the north east. I hadn't appreciated just how far south San Diego was in relation to KDEN, until I looked it up on a flight map! Thanks B, good one my friend, regards from the UK :-)
This is something I still find myself looking up sometimes, even after living here all my life. Where each city is in latitude compared to other major cities. Sometimes it’s very different than you think. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful flight and great lighting! Definitely looked like a bit of an early rotation out of San Diego and the initial climb was pretty shallow too which was interesting as some others have pointed out.
I would like to see San Diego to Detroit sometime, we flew between the 2 cities back in the 80s when. San Diego international was known as Lindbergh Field.
Winglets help by reducing wingtip vortices, which are the twin tornados formed by the difference between the pressure on the upper surface of an airplane's wing and that on the lower surface. This is done to help improve fuel efficiency. By eliminating those vortices, it greatly reduces drag. They don’t have any steering or control abilities.
How often (since you’ve started the channel) do you end up on the same aircraft as another flight you have taken in the past. Like have you flown on N66893 before?
I appreciate that you enjoy the view. I do as well, but my channel is an aviation channel. The wing is the “star of the show” for lack of a better phrase. I try to have a good variety of seating positions, but sitting directly behind the wing is the best place to sit to truly see the wing and all of its engineering at work.
This is the view I see every time I depart from San Diego to visit my family in Toledo Ohio, and visit Cedar Point also Kings Island of course. To bad I couldn't stop by to say hi and give you an elbow bump to Thank You for the Great Videos you post. 🤝🛩🛫🛬🛩👍👍
I travelled this route with my family on a United DC-7B in 1961. It was the only time I saw the Grand Canyon.
WoW !! Beautiful take off . San Diego one of favorite cities!! Awesome stuff again Skylite.

You by far have the best airline videos on UA-cam! Thank you for the dedication amazing 🤩!!
I appreciate that my friend! Thanks!
This is one of the best take off views I ever seen of the Pacific Ocean.

I really enjoyed this one! Nice take off, the weather was perfect and great scenery during the flight! Thanks again for sharing! 😁✈
Nice view of the Grand Canyon around the 57 min mark. great job
I love your content man
This is like the 5th time I'm writing this comment but studying with this in the background makes me feel amazing
I like how the shadow of the plane slowly joins it during landing. So cool to watch! Starts at 1:59:00
That is pretty cool. Actually you can see the shadow as early as 1:58:25. It's faint, but you can see it.
Whenever I fly out of San Diego, I am sure to get seats on the left side of the aircraft. It is the best view from an airplane in the country.
Wonderful flight! Thanks again.
Man your videos are so relaxing

Since UAL's 737s all have GPS, it was more likely the ZZOOO2 Departure, which follows, more or less, the same track eastbound as the BORDER 7.
Beautiful flight and great lighting! Definitely looked like a bit of an early rotation out of San Diego and the initial climb was pretty shallow too which was interesting as some others have pointed out.
Awesome Flight , Thanks Skylite
This is needs too reach millions subscribers because his channel is super amazing 🤩 !
The past 7 flights i've been on in 2021 have been completely full coming to and from Phoenix. Seems like the west coast all over is a hot destination!
"Up, Up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon ..."
The first part of that song was used in TWA tv commercials, back in the 70s. "Up, up and away, T-W-A!", as a TWA 707 was shown climbing out.
Beautiful city of San Diego
That shadow plane got awfully close to yours on landing. Great scenery from start to finish!
I got very nervous for a second 😳
Great video!
Awesome video! =D
I saw very quick moves of contrail twice, from right edge of screen to left edge, from 1:18:12 to 33 and from 1:38:32 to 39:02. Are they jet fighters?
No fighters, just other commercial aircraft passing by.
I see. Thank you for your reply.
I would like to see San Diego to Detroit sometime, we flew between the 2 cities back in the 80s when. San Diego international was known as Lindbergh Field.
Pro trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Gianni Isaac Yea, been using flixzone for since november myself :)
2:00:17 enough spoilers for now -- nah just a bit longer :D
Wow! Very early flap retraction on takeoff
Came for the always awesome departure from San Diego...stayed for the always spectacular scenery all the way to Denver. :)
wonder if those two wings on the wing tips are functional and help steer , stabilize plane?
Winglets help by reducing wingtip vortices, which are the twin tornados formed by the difference between the pressure on the upper surface of an airplane's wing and that on the lower surface. This is done to help improve fuel efficiency. By eliminating those vortices, it greatly reduces drag. They don’t have any steering or control abilities.
@@sla31 Very well put, sir! The 'scimitar' winglets reduce fuel consumption by about 5%.
why the full video i'm watching this in a plane so i wanna see if my plane is faster then yours it's virgin australia cause i live in australia
TIME FOR ME TO TAKE A CHANGE AN TAKE A TRIP AN FLY HIGH IN THE SKY
Any time lapse videos coming soon?
Yes. I have a few new time-lapses coming up soon.
Looks like the plane's speeding up really fast after takeoff
Early rotation. Hence the wings started to rise but plane went no where.
Great Video as always👍👍. Liked And Enjoyed your new video
Awesome
2:45 , 7:44 great start
Are phone cameras even allowed on plane?
Short answer is, yes. Both by the FAA and by the airlines.
Thanks because i was nervous about going on a plane on June 29th but flying is great right?
@@nicekid7409 It's easier than the drive to the airport -- and safer, too!
I can see San Diego International Airport at 22:35
You can hear the taxi bumps
May you do STT-ATL full flight please?
I love your manners
@@aviationcentral126 Thanks!
only delta flies back and forth nonstop
at one point you can see a plane go past!
#United
u got a camera mount right lol
Yes. My left or right hand, depending on which side of the aircraft I’m sitting on.
@@sla31 so you hold your camera the entire time?
Yes, that is correct.
@@sla31 dang, that's a long time, you don't get tired or anything?
@@SFAviation Well, of course I get tired, but I can hold the camera for about an hour before I take a short break.
How often (since you’ve started the channel) do you end up on the same aircraft as another flight you have taken in the past. Like have you flown on N66893 before?
Idiots who engage in loud conversations during safety briefings are quite rude
Or ATL-STT please?
👍✈️🇦🇷👏👏👏
I appreciate these videos but please stop taking them from the wing. Takes away part of the window view.
